[QUOTE="chippie, post: 681293, member: 5644"] Not a good deal. Something to consider. Do you have the time and money to invest in them before you get a calf out of them? Look at your time line. If they are 7 months old and providing they grow well enough to be bred at 14 to 16 months old, then add another 9 months gestation, plus 6 months to weaning... you will have invested at least 24 months (2 years) before you start recouping your money. If you get them, plan on spending some money on feed. They look like they need it. About a buyer. Ask at your feed store and your Extension agent if they know of anyone who can help you find good stock. You may have to travel to find it, but better quality cattle will pay off in the long run.
